At Intrinsic Physio, we utilize a holistic approach to manage your injuries. We are highly qualified physiotherapists specialised in sports injuries and spinal related musculoskeletal conditions such as headache, neck pain, back pain, cervical & lumbar radiculopathy (pain & numbness in your arms or legs), slipped disc/ disc protrusion/ sciatica. Our physios are certified practitioners in using the McKenzie methods®, manual therapy, acupuncture, exercise therapy and sports medicine.
Pain arising from the spine is increasingly common, often caused by people becoming more sedentary and spending prolonged periods at their work stations. Postural screening and assessment for problems of spinal origin is an important part of the work of our physiotherapists. Identifying the source of pain, manually treating and correcting the underlying biomechanical causes, and educating patients in the prevention of further episodes, is our approach to spinal pain. In addition to the assessment and hands-on treatment, patients are taught strengthening exercise for core stability and stretching exercise to improve spinal flexibility, as well as education in postural awareness and good office ergonomics.
Intrinsic Physio also has extensive experience in the sporting arena, including some major international events such as the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens, New Zealand Badminton Open and Tradestaff ISF Men’s World Softball Championships. Whether you are an elite athlete, high performance player, a weekend warrior or beginner, we will help you to return to sport as quickly and as safely as possible.
We strive to provide the best care possible, and often liaise with other health professionals such as your GP, surgeon, specialist, acupuncturist, sport coaches and management officials. It’s all about team effort and collaboration. Should you require further investigation to confirm your diagnosis, we can refer you for Xrays and ultrasound scans. We can also refer you to a specialist and/or ultrasound guided injections when it’s necessary.
